Inspiring Science Education

60 high school students from 12 schools from the Attica regin came to the premises of the University of Athens, together with their teachers, for one day in order to learn about particle physics, CERN and become researchers for a day. In the morning, lectures were given by professors from the University of the University of Athens on nuclear and HEP physics. In the afternoon while the students attended a hands-on experience, a special session with the teachers took place. The teachers were introduced to the ISE project by C.Kourkoumelis, who showed to the teachers the Z and Higgs demonstator in the iSE portal. The different phases and PISA questions were discussed at length. The Greek ISE leaflets were also discributed to the 12 teachers who atended. Following the demonstration the teachers answered the PISA questions as a test.They were worked in groups of two so tehre are only 5 answers. Their answers can be found in http://tools.inspiringscience.eu/delivery/lesson/index?id=081b6c2b&t=t&username=ckourk&email=Christine.Kourkoumelis@cern.ch. Furthermore, at the end of the day the students compared their results with those of other institutions from Italy, France and Poland in a videoconference.
